Think the period piece is too stuffy? 'Dickinson' and others are blowing it up
“Dickinson” from Apple TV+ is a pointed love letter to an American icon, rebel spirit fully intact.
“The truth is that the choice to make a period show was a way of writing a stylized version of the present,” says Smith, who studied Dickinson for years while developing the series, which has been renewed for a second season. “Why Emily Dickinson works as a figure to put at the center of this type of style is because Emily Dickinson was an artist who was ahead of her time and did not follow all the rules of her time and was certainly not appreciated in her time.
She adds, “I always was trying to create this uncanny blur between present and past so that you’d almost lose track of which one you were in.”The first season of “Dickinson,” now streaming in full on Apple TV+, had already finished production when “,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ quirky take on Queen Anne, arrived in theaters last year. Written by Lanthimos, Tony McNamara and Deborah Davis, the historical film defied the traditional confines of a period drama.
“I remember Yorgos saying in a meeting, ‘Anyone who comes to this movie looking for a history lesson is in the wrong movie,’” McNamara told the Times last year. “Often in period things the details drag the story down. The slavishness to the detail, the slavishness to the truth of it. … We wanted to strip the history and just serve the story of three complicated women in a world where the men were struggling for traction.
